LouFamFun Party
2022:
Thank you to everyone who attended. We raised over $1,600 for Steam Exchange!
All proceeds benefit Steam Exchange.
The mission of Steam Exchange is to facilitate passion-driven learning experiences where individuals explore the arts, the world, and themselves through creative play and production. We also use the arts as a platform for young people to engage with concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in innovative ways (STEAM). We aim to foster a sense of community, pride and ownership in the Smoketown neighborhood and to encourage community-based creative entrepreneurship by connecting people with the skills and facilities to develop quality projects.
Please note the following important details:
Adult supervision required. No unattended children, this includes any child age 17 and under.
You may bring in your own food and beverage. No glass containers. No alcohol.
For the safety and enjoyment of all, every child, age 4 and under, and those not completely potty-trained, needs to wear a SNUG-FITTING reusable plastic covering over a swim diaper.
No early entry. Admission will begin at 7:30pm

We are ready to throw another party to celebrate our 12th birthday!
Each year, Louisville Family Fun raises money for charity at our LouFamFun Birthday Party. Support local kids in our community by having fun with your family. We are so excited to do something different in 2021 to celebrate.
UPDATE on 2021!
The event was a success! We were able to collect donations from readers and purchase more thanks to the sponsors and our own monetary contribution. We donated about 150 new books to Bless the Block 2021 which will go to local kids!
We are partnering with Carmichael’s Bookstore to bring you an opportunity to support a local business and give gifts to local kids through Change Today, Change Tomorrow (CTCT). We are going to BLESS kids with books and we are going to feel so great supporting Louisville’s amazing local bookstore.

Bless the Block is a CTCT initiative during the holidays. CTCT seeks to support 15,000 families in nine West End neighborhoods by collecting and sorting gifts for them and placing them right on their doorsteps, blessing their block! Sponsors can step in a cover the expenses for gifts for an entire block or something smaller.
We are going to step in and get books for Bless the Block that can be distributed with these other gifts. It is so important for kids to have books at home, books that tell stories that relate to their lives and cultures. Carmichael’s Kids’ staff has created a special list of books just for this campaign that will be perfect.
Another way to give is to support CTCT directly with funding on Giving Tuesday. Change Today, Change Tomorrow is devoted to eradicating barriers that plague the Black community and other marginalized populations in Education, Food Justice, and Public Health. CTCT promises to protect, defend, and meet the needs of those who have been counted out.
